ImageMagick-6.5.4 convert: missing an image filename

Post by scruteweb »

Hello,

File is OK :

[root@s17841952 130]# ls -ltr f9ca5db179bf3fb0a53e2975.jpg
-rw-r--r-- 1 scruteweb psacln 328886 Dec 18 12:43 f9ca5db179bf3fb0a53e2975.jpg

But convert KO :

[root@s17841952 130]# convert -quality 5 f9ca5db179bf3fb0a53e2975.jpg
convert: missing an image filename `f9ca5db179bf3fb0a53e2975.jpg' @ convert.c/ConvertImageCommand/2800.

Code: Select all

convert -quality 5 f9ca5db179bf3fb0a53e2975.jpg
Is this you command? If so you are either missing a input image or an output image.

Are you trying to save the new image over the old image?

In fact I would like to compress the image :

[root@s17841952 130]# ls -ltr f9ca5db179bf3fb0a53e2975.jpg
-rw-r--r-- 1 scruteweb psacln 328886 Dec 18 12:43 f9ca5db179bf3fb0a53e2975.jpg

I can not find the order, can you give me?

convert -compress f9ca5db179bf3fb0a53e2975.jpg ?
and for quality :
convert -quality 5 f9ca5db179bf3fb0a53e2975.jpg f9ca5db179bf3fb0a53e2975-convert.jpg ?

Thanks

Basic IM 6 syntax is explained at http://www.imagemagick.org/Usage/basics/#cmdline where it discusses differences from unix command syntax and progression of changes over time to the current IM 6 syntax.

I'm new and puzzled by my defective performance on RHEL 6.6. Tried

$ ls -l view0001.dcm
-r-xr-xr-x. 1 wolf wolf 164264 Apr 27 09:46 view0001.dcm
$ convert view0001.dcm -quality 5 view0001.png
convert: missing an image filename `view0001.png' @ convert.c/ConvertImageCommand/2800.
$

What am I missing?

Perhaps you are missing the libpng delegate library. What do you get returned from

convert -version


Please in the future, do not tack a new question onto an old topic. Also always provide your version of IM and platform.
